Other terrapins which had been treated in a similar manner were examined, and 

 the results, in every instance, corresponded with those detailed above. 



We shall next compare these analyses with those of the Emijs serrata in its normal 

 condition, and when deprived of food and drink. The following tables will give a 

 condensed view of the changes in the amounts and chemical constitution of the blood 

 of the Emijs terrapin during thirst, starvation, and a change of diet.
